As title states. Engine is currently in my car and can be driven/seen running. Was rebuilt a few years ago and then mothballed, and has been started every 3 months since. The entire engine has done around 5000km, it's basically only just run in.

It's a series 1 RB25DE head grafted onto a series 1 RB30 block which has had the oil feed and returns tapped in to the block (so it is now identical to a series 2 block). The head was fully reconditioned, with new valve seats, springs etc etc etc, basically a full job. The bottom end was built with Clevite 77 rod bearings and genuine Nissan main bearings. The pistons are ACL cast pistons and the rods are standard items that have been beam polished and shot peened.

Essentially:

Engine;

RB25/30, fully rebuilt head and bottom end, everything has done about 5000km since rebuild with no issues. No blowby, no oil usage or leaks, a very tight engine.

Parts list:

3ltr block

ACL cast pistons, standard bore size, ACL race series rings.

Rods - standard. Crack tested, cryo treated, beam polished then shot peened.

Bearings: Nissan mains, clevite 77 rods.

R32 GTR oil pump.

R33 RB25DE head

fully rebuilt, new valve guides, reseated valves etc

stock cams

RB25DET 380cc injectors

This setup made 235rwkw on my twincharged setup, so it's quite well set up. The timing belt setup uses two tensioners on the high edge of the block so it's easier to adjust the tension on the slack and tight sides independently. The head was welded and faced to delete the VCT function, and a grub screw setup was put in the front intake cam bearing to supply oil to the front cam journal. The VCT is therefore disabled.

For extra cost I can supply my twincharge hotside and a JD custom plenum setup for the intake, but most likely I will sell that stuff separately.

Price: $2500

For that you get the block + head assembled, the oil pump and cam drive setup, rocker covers, spark plugs, cams etc all ready to go.

Location: inner north melbourne.

Pickup only. Happy to start car and allow buyer to listen to engine and inspect for leaks, smoke etc - there is none, this engine is mint. I will take half deposit, then remove engine for the buyer within 2 weeks.

hmmmm could be tough - she's not exactly light! I could probably find a pallet and strap it to that, but I'm unsure if I can get a courier to pick it up from my door, you'd need a forklift or something

If you know a way to do it easily then I can definately freight it, but I'd much prefer pickup because it's farkin heavy

bump - engine is coming out next weekend, so if you're interested in seeing it run before then, please pm me. otherwise take my word for it that it's good.

This engine made 235rwkw in my VL on 9psi, so it's pretty well set up. Quench is 35 thou. Power output only limited by the RB30 rods which are good for up to 300-320rwkw. Change the rods over to some cheap Spool rods or similar and it will be good for a LOT more power.

Price drop to $2300 if you put a deposit on it next week

The powerFC that ran this engine is now gone, so you can't see it running. Russman saw and heard it run when he picked the ECU so he can vouch for the fact that it didn't blow smoke or knock.

Engine is coming out this weekend.

Got 3 interested buyers, first person to put cash in my hand gets it

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
